MoL to issue temporary job permits from September 007 onwards to enable companies to hire workers for short duration
Recent reports quote Mr. Humeid bin Demas, Assistant Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Labor (MoL), that from September 2007 onwards, the MoL will start issuing
‘temporary job permits’ to enable companies to hire workers for a short period of time.
The temporary job permits, the duration of which has not been specified yet, are intended to curb the tendency of some companies to hire workers on visit visas.
The reports quote the Under-Secretary further as follows: The decision is aimed at checking the companies from hiring illegal workers. Of the total illegal workers in the UAE, nearly
90 per cent are those working for companies on visit visas. The details of the temporary job permits would be made public soon. |
